I started on a Reader: Timo darf nicht sterben.
It's a 29 page A2 reader about a boy who competes unsuccessfully for the Darwin awards.
I have done 40% of it. There were a whole bunch of words I had encountered before, but for which I could not remember the meanings of. Slow going at first. I am noting the meanings of words I do not know in a notebook.

That's great. Things will get a lot easier if quite quickly.
Personally, I wouldn't worry about trying to remember every word. Those that are important have a habit of coming back and it's amazing how quickly you remember words if you just keep reading.
Anyway congratulations!

Did not need to go further. As soon as I read "Timo", I knew it was a title in German.

Assimil 78, 79. These two lessons were quite difficult.
